Golf Swing Fundamentals - What the Experts Don't Want You to Know About Your Golf Swing

If you play golf and want to make sure that you playing to the best of your ability you need to make sure that you know all about the golf swing fundamentals that are the backbone of your game. It is commonly believed that there are six main fundamentals of a good golf swing and these are -

Your posture - how you stand is very important to ensuring a good golf swing, make sure your feet are planted firmly on the ground with your feet apart, knees bent, back straight and do all bending from the hips.

Your pivot - this is how you move your body when you are taking your swing, you should move freely and fluidly and without any tension as this will transfer into your shot and make you miss the ball.

The way your arms and hands behave during the swing - this might seem a little silly but you need to make sure that your hands and arms move in conjunction with each other to maximise your golf swing.

Your alignment - this is how you take aim on the golf ball when you are lining up your shot and is crucial to hitting the ball in exactly the right spot.

Finally, and possibly one of the most vital areas of golf swing fundamentals is our state of mind when you come to take your shot. You must be concentrating but not overly so as this will make you tense which will then lead to a poorly hit ball. Make sure you are relaxed yet focused and you will be swinging like a pro in no time.
